I received this test some minutes ago. I thought I would share it.

??? Jan 25

A neurological test from a marketing company? Not sure how serious this really is. Any corroboration from elsewhere?

Oh my God.... Jan 25

The test is very funny, it seems I don't need a neurologist

Is it serious? Because if it's not, maybe the result is fake and I will need a neurologist soon!

reason for typos Jan 25

Maybe it is just a gimmick, but if there's any truth in this bit, it would explain why it's so easy to miss typos (your own anyway!):

Hi David,

Of course this is not an official serious neurological test.
So this doesn't substitute visiting a real physician. It's rather a funny test.

Is there a nation... Jan 25




Cute. Say, is there a nation in which most people go to the neurologist once a year for a check-up?

In Japan, people are encouraged to take a ningen dokku ("human dock") examination once a year, which is a very thorough physical examination which also often includes MRI and PET scans of the brain. The term comes from ships entering dry dock when being overhauled.
